served by this program will improve their employability to
the extent that they will find employment and reduce
reliance on other governmental programs like SSI/SSP.
Amendments are needed to structure the bill as a test of
this proposition, to include
A requirement for an evaluation,
Criteria by which to judge the success of the pilot, and
A sunset limiting the test period.
